I 12 00:00:29,960 --> 00:00:32,520 Speaker 4: thought it took a while for you girls to warm 13 00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,559 Speaker 4: up against China in the Adelaide game, but at a 14 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:40,400 Speaker 4: core stadium, I just felt like that would have been 15 00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:44,120 Speaker 4: a big relief Mackenzie, because the girls started, you started to. 16 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,040 Speaker 1: Click and it looks really good going into the Olympics. 17 00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was good.

Does that mean now 33 00:01:36,760 --> 00:01:39,360 Speaker 2: just sort of prior to the Olympics, you're on a 34 00:01:39,400 --> 00:01:41,679 Speaker 2: strict diet.
